It would take 23K to buy mine , and no one is likely to pay it. Yet a dealer would be asking 24,900 after buying it for 16. Only has 20K on it and a 98.5% vert. It is trouble free and just a hoot to fire and go. Why sell it and end up with my classic seller's regret?
BTW, the C6 Z51 bars made a world of diff. even just around town.

Zactly what is a 98.5% vert?

If the price was right and I had my eye on another you bet I would. But, in the meantime I'll continue to say "never" :-)

Not going to sell for nothing out of the clear blue, but yes, if they told me an offer that was reasonable, I would stop pumping gas and head to the notary. They sell these things every day and I'd be thrilled to just go get another.

Just my way of saying it is near perfect except for some stone chips along rockers. It is a real sweet one. But I'm glad that no one rushed forward with 23k as I really wouldn't want to sell it anyway. Between the wheels,Continental ECs, Z51 bars the headers and Borla and another group of very tasteful mods, it has about another 7 K in it. Though one never gets much for those kind of things, it sure makes it a much more potent and fun driver.

I'd ask "how much are you offering?" and then laugh at the number.

That's why I'm on my 7th one. No regrets about selling 6 of them. Just wish I had the 62 back. I can't afford one now! One of these days, though...
